Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping Check #1 - Nice Coyote

Won't go into detail on kill procedure but if you look closely at the bucket on the right in one of the pics you'll figure it out. Just as quick and painless as a gunshot but not as messy. Trapline is about 30 miles long - covers several ranches worth of roadway.

Day 4 - Very nice pale female - Forgot the camera at home so you'll have to excuse the pic.

got some nice belly's on them. should be good high dollar fur.

Dang Ranger...leave a 'seed crop' for next year!
That #4 is beautiful, man.

Didn't even notice the contents of the bucket until you pointed it out.

Another nice 'yote, BTW.

The boys checked traps alone so no pics in the trap, but two more good dogs.




And today's check - 4 more coyotes. Brings the total to 13 in 6 days out of 21 traps.

Wow, beginners luck, LOL! thats an impressive ratio for the boys.

OK, enough is enough. I can't stand this any more! What are you guys using for scent lures??? I don't know montana regs, but can you use visual attractors like feathers or a pieces of faux fur, too? Whatever you two are doing, your definately doing it the right way!
Congradulations!

We use mostly Caven lures with a couple of others thrown in for change-ups. All sets are dirt holes or flats with no feathers or visual other than the fresh dirt. We do stuff a little sheep wool down the hole to make it tougher to steal the bait. I have always been a big fan of Carmen's Pro mix instead of straight urine - we're using red fox but I've had equally good success with coyote as well. Seems that extra shot of gland lure makes all the difference. - Yesterday's check yielded one more coyote and a coon.

Red fox is a good call all the way around. Because that will just irritate the living rat turds out of coyotes, to where they just at least come to investigate. To those 'yotes that is a challenge within their home territory by a minion canine peeing on their home plate. Nicely Done!

Thanks for sharing and getting these young men involved. It gives them a healthy respect for the outdoors and away from the commie TV guys and flipping video games (both big time wasters). Good job!

As far as dispatching, I like the old school wooden bat. You won't catch me or mine using an aluminum bat for this chore.
